With the WooCommerce Checklist, you can guarantee that your products have the details you want.

Need every product to have an SKU number?

Want to give every item a Product Image?

Want to make sure all Product descriptions are a similar length?

Need all your listings to be “Virtual” products?

The WooCommerce Checklist can offer all these guarantees and more.

If you have the WooCommerce Checklist installed, the image below shows what you’ll see. On the right-hand side of your product editing screen, you’ll see a “Checklist” box. If you don’t meet all these criteria, your product can’t go live on the site.

How to Set Up the WooCommerce Checklist

Let’s see how to use the WooCommerce Checklist on your own e-commerce site.

All-in-all, there are more than 15 different settings you can choose. These will be requirements before anyone can publish a product on your site.

If the default 15 options are not enough, you can also create your own requirements.

For example, perhaps you want every product image to contain your logo somewhere in the image. At the bottom of the Checklist screen you can see an “Add custom item” box. Here you can add a new requirement:

You can also decide how firm you want to be with your requirement. Each requirement has several options:.

In the Action column, you can choose a specific action for each requirement:

Show a sidebar message: This allows users to publish products, but the requirement is marked in red with an X in the sidebar.

Show a pop-up message: This also allows users to publish products, but they will see a pop-up with a warning message.

Prevent publishing: This forces users to complete a requirement before publishing. These items are represented by a “*”.
